Out picking sloes and I thought I'd check the almonds. We only planted these trees 18 months ago and already they have a few nuts...the outer casing, like a tough peach, has started to split. When it opens fully they're ready to pick. A crap pic it maybe but that's what you get from a phone camera on a cold, dewy morning.




I may have mentioned this before, but I intend to make a bread using the first nuts and call it Mark's Almonds Tainted Loaf
